• 0:24
  off in a fantastic way. Hey everybody, good morning.
• 0:30
  Today I want to talk to you about disappointments.
• 0:34
  So they are around us. They are all around us.
• 0:37
  They're we can't escape them. It doesn't matter what color you
• 0:41
  are, what you do for work. It doesn't matter if you're rich
• 0:46
  or poor. It doesn't matter if you have a
• 0:49
  heartbeat and you're human, you are going to have
• 0:52
  disappointments. It's part of our ecology as a
• 0:56
  as, as the environment that we are living in.
• 1:00
  We just will have disappointments.
• 1:03
  It might be a simple thing like, oh, I ordered a burger and it's
• 1:06
  not cooked the way I want. That happens to me all the time.
• 1:09
  That's one of my major disappointments.
• 1:11
  Believe it or not, it happens consistently because I like my
• 1:14
  burger well done and nobody likes to cook meat well done.
• 1:17
  I don't know why, but that's the way it works.
• 1:20
  Doesn't matter how I order, it matters that it always comes out
• 1:22
  that way. And I'm disappointed and I'm
• 1:25
  using that as an example because it's such a stupid thing.
• 1:28
  But there are bigger ones, you know, my son had an incident a
• 1:32
  couple weeks ago and he had to go.
• 1:34
  Finally got in to see had a problem with his hand.
• 1:37
  His finger was broken and it turned out that he now needs
• 1:40
  surgery. And I was super disappointed
• 1:43
  yesterday when I heard that he needed to have surgery.
• 1:47
  And then I remembered the phrase that I'm going to teach you
• 1:50
  today or talk to you about it today.
• 1:51
  And that is discipline your disappointments, discipline
• 1:55
  them. So as soon as I was like, oh,
• 1:56
  I'm so disappointed that he has to go into the summer like this
• 2:00
  and that he's got to have surgery and pins put in his
• 2:02
  finger and all this, you know, to me, it's just nonsense.
• 2:07
  And it, it, it was a moment where we had waited so many
• 2:12
  days. He what happened happened on the
• 2:15
  8th and now all of a sudden here we are and we finally get in to
• 2:19
  see a doctor and the doctor like immediately needs to have
• 2:21
  surgery and they were scheduled it for today.
• 2:23
  And I'm like, I'm so pissed. I'm so aggravated and I felt
• 2:28
  like that I was so disappointed in the whole thing.
• 2:31
  And then I heard myself say discipline and disappointments.
• 2:34
  Isn't that amazing that we have a doctor that will do it right
• 2:37
  away? Yes.
• 2:38
  Isn't it wonderful that we live in a place where they can fix
• 2:42
  it? And he's not going to be having
• 2:45
  that finger useless for the rest of his life since he's only 17?
• 2:49
  Yes. And I start going through the
• 2:52
  list in my mind of the things that I can be grateful for and
• 2:57
  the things that I can use to discipline my disappointments.
• 3:01
  And by the end of it, by the end of the time that I sat there and
• 3:06
  paused and I'm talking, this maybe took me a minute, maybe a
• 3:09
  minute and a half. I pulled myself back, I pulled
• 3:13
  my head out of my butt. I stopped complaining and I just
• 3:16
  said, OK, this is what we're doing.
• 3:18
  And I got myself together, felt better.
• 3:22
  And he seems to be fine with it. He's irritated for sure that
• 3:27
  he's got to do it, but he's like, I'm not letting it slow me
• 3:30
  down. He's so determined.
• 3:33
  And I looked and I said, wow, you know what?
• 3:36
  I. I did a good job with that part.
• 3:38
  I did a good job. Because he's absolutely
• 3:41
  determined it's not going to take him out.
• 3:44
  And I looked and he just started a new job and he's just so
• 3:48
  excited about it. It, it was, it was just a
• 3:52
  moment. It was a moment in time to say
• 3:54
  it is necessary. It is absolutely, 100% necessary
• 3:59
  to discipline the disappointments all the time.
• 4:02
  So I'm sharing this with you because I want to ask you to
• 4:07
  discipline them. Don't let them run you over.
• 4:10
  Find something that you can take from this and appreciate from
• 4:14
  this. Find something that you can turn
• 4:17
  into this, that it's not as bad, even if you're saying it's not
• 4:20
  as bad as it could have been. Yes, that is a true statement.
• 4:24
  Now, it can also be true that you're like, yeah, but it still
• 4:26
  happened. We can always find the
• 4:29
  disappointment. It's harder to find the good
• 4:31
  stuff, so you have to mine for it.
• 4:34
  Let's just like mining for gold, it's hard to find the gold, but
• 4:36
  when you find it, boy, are you excited.
• 4:39
  It blows your mind. So go into this day, go into
• 4:43
  this week, the rest of this week.
• 4:45
  Go into the rest of your month, your life, thinking about
• 4:48
  disciplining the disappointments because I promise you, when you
• 4:52
  do, you find you're in a better energy.
• 4:54
  And then there are fewer and fewer disappointments because
• 4:57
  you stop attracting them. They stop showing up in your
• 5:00
  world, and before you know it, you're feeling a whole hell of a
• 5:04
  lot better. All right, my friends, I hope
• 5:07
  you have a blessed day and I will see you tomorrow.
• 5:10
  Bye.
